My phone browser's ad blocker must be doing a good job then, cos I don't see a single pop-up when browsing Gundam Nadleeh's page (but the ad blocker icon shows 53 blocked so wow).
I've been on this Wiki since around 2008, so was just used to using the web for it so I just stuck to it. 😅
Not that I've never run into problems using the website over the years with web but most of the time it works fine.
TIL there's a Fandom app
"I'm Batman"
Most likely it's referring to the electric generators that converts the heat (or some other form of energy) of the main Minovsky reactor into electricity.
The manual says it has one in the Core Fighter, one in the back pack, and on the legs. I highly doubt there's a whole nuclear reactor in each of those.

Commercial nuclear reactors in real life apparently can also have multiple generators each. These are also important because the electric output rating of the reactor is measured by the output of those steam generators.
"Part of the cooling system of pressurized water reactors (PWR & PHWR) where the high-pressure primary coolant bringing heat from the reactor is used to make steam for the turbine, in a secondary circuit. Essentially a heat exchanger like a motor car radiator.* Reactors have up to six 'loops', each with a steam generator."
"Gross electrical MWe, which indicates the power produced by the attached steam turbine and generator, and also takes into account the ambient temperature for the condenser circuit (cooler means more electric power, warmer means less)"
In our Technology article (which for for UC), we also have the Generator as an entry and describes it as "A device which converts the energy of a mobile suit's thermonuclear reactor into electrical power." I don't know enough about UC tech first hand to know how accurate that description is but it would make sense based on how the RG RX-78-2 Gundam 2.0 manual seems to be describing it as well as how generators are described for real life reactors in general.
Is the one generator thing mentioned in the anime?
Happens mate, don't worry about it.
Don't understand the options based on how the question is worded.
GNX-603T GN-X from Gundam 00
There isn't enough animators in the industry versus the amount of anime projects out there so as a result episode counts have dropped a lot for anime, Its not just Gundam, a lot of anime now run on like one cour.
Standards are also higher now, stuff like stock animations which uses to be very common are now a lot more rarer. In addition, if you look at the gap between TV anime vs theatrical anime quality back in the 80s and 90s, it was huge. There is still a gap today of course but it's not as much as it used to be.
Mecha as a genre in anime is also not as popular than it used to be. Not a problem for Gundam per say as its the most well known IP in the genre and it being a merchandise powerhouse helps but they probably not want to take risks and shorter lengths will help that.
IBO and 00 keep me going.
You don't have to watch every new show that comes out.
Gundam Bael's Cockpit
Bael's Cockpit. Nothing more OG than this I suppose for Gundams as it's untouched for centuries. This one is interesting as it's not like the almost standing of the CGS MW but it's not a traditional 90 degree angle seat either.
The angle appears to be slightly different. The CGS Mobile Worker angle rotates backwards angle a little bit compared to Barbatos' which appears to be more straight. But it's the same seat.
Barbatos' Cockpit:
CGS Mobile Worker's Cockpit:
Sidenote, CGS Mobile Worker's Cockpit is the only one that stands. Gjallahorn's and Union's Mobile Workers all use traditional seats.
As for why they didn't switch them out, I don't know of any stated reason. But if I were to guess, it's probably because Mikazuki is used to it. More of a don't break it if it isn't broken thing since it never appeared to hamper his piloting. Mikazuki's limbs also continue to work when he is connected to Barbatos's AV in Season 2 so that is not an issue either. Tekkadan probably didn't have any extra seat AV cockpits units to spare for most of Season 1 and Mika probably fine with it so they just decided to leave it.
Gundam Vidar's Cockpit:
This one just adopts the Graze's cockpit unit and then added the Alaya-Vijnana Type E system.
Barbatos uses the cockpit system that that is almost standing that you described in this topic because Tekkadan took it from the CGS Mobile Worker's cockpit. To my knowledge so far, it is the only one that adopts it.
Barbatos' Cockpit:
Basically when CGS found Barbatos many years ago, it was missing its original cockpit. So when Tekkadan had to launch Barbatos after Gjallahorn attacked them, they had to use whatever they had, which was the CGS Mobile Worker cockpit. Mikazuki/Tekkadan just kept using this system thereafter.
Tekkadan's Gundam Gusion Rebake does not use this system and that one appears to be taken from the Man Rodi's system.
I'm trying to locate lineart of the original Gundams' cockpits like Kimaris and the like, but haven't found them so far.
Yea, and as I said the Gundam Gusion Rebake has a seat as noted in the picture I posted.
The mobile worker cockpits have that adjustable angle thing, because they don't have much space to begin with so have to be almost standing. Barbatos adopts that cockpit because its OG cockpit was already missing when CGS found it.
However Ryusei-Go and Gundam Gusion Rebake cockpits (pictured below) adopts full seats that were taken from Man Rodis.
Teiwaz Frames also adopt full seats:
Zeon won in the sense that they got their independence and control space but they didn't take over Earth or anything. They do not rule over the entirely of humankind. It's a big victory but not a complete victory. Definitely not like say the Allies in WWII or anything like that.
They sit down. Personally they never look like they were standing to me but as mentioned, yea they lean forward a lot.
